Whale is the common name for a widely distributed and diverse group of fully aquatic placental marine mammals. They are an informal grouping within the infraorder Cetacea, usually excluding dolphins and porpoises.

Whales, dolphins, and porpoises belong to the order Cetartiodactyla with even-toed ungulates and their closest living relatives are the hippopotamuses, having diverged about 40 million years ago.

The two parvorders of whales, baleen whales (Mysticeti) and toothed whales (Odontoceti), are thought to have split apart around 34 million years ago.

Whales are creatures of the open ocean; they feed, mate, give birth, suckle and raise their young at sea. So extreme is their adaptation to life underwater that they are unable to survive on land.

Whales range in size from the 2.6 meters (8.5 ft) and 135 kilograms (298 lb) dwarf sperm whale to the 29.9 meters (98 ft) and 190 metric tons (210 short tons) blue whale, which is the largest creature that has ever lived.

The sperm whale is the largest toothed predator on earth. Several species exhibit sexual dimorphism, in that the females are larger than males.

Baleen whales have no teeth; instead, they have plates of baleen, a fringe-like structure used to expel water while retaining the krill and plankton which they feed on.

Whales have evolved from land-living mammals. As such they must breathe air regularly, though they can remain submerged for long periods.

They have blowholes (modified nostrils) located on top of their heads, through which air is taken in and expelled in the form of vapor.

Whales are warm-blooded, and have a layer of fat, or blubber, under the skin. With streamlined fusiform bodies and two limbs that are modified into flippers, whales can travel at up to 20 knots, though they are not as flexible or agile as seals.

Whales produce a great variety of vocalizations, notably the extended songs of the humpback whale. Although whales are widespread, most species prefer the colder waters of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and migrate to the equator to give birth.

What a landscape!

Species such as humpbacks and blue whales are capable of traveling thousands of miles without feeding. Males typically mate with multiple females every year, but females only mate every two to three years.

Calves are typically born in the spring and summer months and females bear all the responsibility for raising them. Mothers of some species fast and nurse their young for a relatively long time.

Once relentlessly hunted for their products, whales are now protected by international law. The North Atlantic right whales nearly became extinct in the twentieth century, with a population low of 450, and the North Pacific gray whale population is ranked Critically Endangered by the IUCN.

Besides whaling, they also face threats from bycatch and marine pollution. The meat, blubber, and baleen of whales have traditionally been used by indigenous peoples of the Arctic.

Whales have been depicted in various cultures worldwide, notably by the Inuit and the coastal peoples of Vietnam and Ghana, who sometimes hold whale funerals.

Whales are descendants of land-dwelling mammals of the artiodactyl order (even-toed ungulates). They are related to the Indohyus, an extinct chevrotain-like ungulate, from which they split approximately 48 million years ago.

Whales are fully aquatic creatures, which means that birth and courtship behaviors are very different from terrestrial and semi-aquatic creatures.

Whales are known to teach, learn, cooperate, scheme, and grieve. The neocortex of many species of whale is home to elongated spindle neurons that, prior to 2007, were known only in hominids.

20 interesting facts you probably didn’t know about FRIENDS

By: daniela - 22 December 2017, 18:04

Compartir en Facebook

FRIENDS has got to be that TV show everyone watched at least one time in their lifetime. Is one of the most known and successful 90’s shows and how could it not be? I mean, it is quite hilarious and each character is perfectly created. It was a great way of describing good relationships and it was a cool series to watch in your leisure time.

Here, we are going to share some things you probably didn’t know about FRIENDS!

It was called "Insomnia Café?

Google.

It was another plot and they characters were different. Even though, they were the same people, the main relationship was not Ross and Rachel's it was actually Joey and Monica. Can you imagine that?

Cast changes

Google.

Even tough you can't imagine it differently now, many actors were considered for each role. Of course they made the best choices, and now it seems as each character was written for the actors that were part of the sitcom.

Ross was actually for David Schwimmer

Google.

Eric McCormack said that he auditioned more than two times for this character. The producer told him that they were already working with David Schwimmer who was the first person they chose to be part of the show.

Opening credits

Google.

This looks a lot like NYC central park's fountain. However, it was shot in Warner studios. If you look carefully you'll figure that out. But well, it is the art of the television and we like it too!

Vegas trip

Google.

The director thought it was a good idea to go on a Vegas trip with all the cast before the show comes out. He said he had a feeling with the show and that it was going to be the last time they were not going to be stalked by fans! I guess he was totally right in the end.

Lisa Kudrow and the guitar

Google.

Thanks god this was like this! Imagine it, if she chose to learn the guitar the famous "Smelly cut" wouldn't exist. So, in some way, she hating her guitar lessons gave as a lot of funny material!

It was filmed with a live audience

Google.

It was a kind of test to see if the jokes were working before the show came out. It was a long process to film everything and added to that they had 300 people watching. I don't know how they did it, but it definitely came out the best way that it could. The show mas a huge success.

Many people thought that Chandler was gay

Google.

A lot of people thought that he was gay. Even the show actors, when they read the script they thought that he had a gay orientation. After this been said out loud, the director of the sitcom denied it!

Negotiation

Google.

They all wanted to earn more money per episode. So they decided to negotiate as a group. In 1997 they decided to stop working until they got paid $100,000 dollars per episode each. Luckily, by the end of the season they were earning $1 million per episode. Amazing, right?

Continuity

Google.

Their apartment number changes throughout time. Monica and Chandler's door number changes several times! This was not a continuity filming problem. It was a decision the direction crew made.

Phoebe's twin sister

Google.

Phoebe's twin sister was already part of "Mad about You" cast but "Friends" producers asked her for this part and she couldn't refuse. She made both roles and was happy about it.

Pregnancy issues

Google.

Cox's pregnancy was not written into the show for obvious reasons, that is why they hided it with different clothes and costumes so that nobody noticed. They of course, did a great job!

Doodle art in Joey's door

Google.

Fans became quite obsessed with it, they were starting to look for meanings that actually didn't even existed. This turned into a job for one of the electric department guys! Amazing!

Last name change

Google.

Their last name changed when Courtney Cox married David Arquette. They all changed their surnames adding "Arquette" in the credits. The episode was dedicated to the newly married couple.

The actors were not huge fans of animals

Google.

Of course Kudrow was afraid of the duck that appeared in season three. Ross had also a pet that was a monkey and was called Marcel, this made the shooting hours longer so it didn't work as good as they thought it would.

Bruce Willis appearance

Google.

He appeared for free in the show after loosing a bet with Mathew Perry. Mathew believed that a movie that they were shooting together was going to be number one in the box office on its opening weekend and Bruce thought that he was crazy. Obviously he lost!

The Dollhouse

Google.

The art department crew had to make in three days 6 of these! As it was supposed to catch on fire. They had to be identical of course and then they had to see it burning up. Sad story for the one that had to put it together right? But well, that is the art of television and audiovisual contents.

Matthew Perry's addiction

Google.

He was addicted to prescription drugs and alcohol which could be hidden during some time. However, he declared not being high at work he said that he had to go with painful hangovers that got him exhausted.

Cast hug

Google.

They huddle before they started shooting everyday. It was really cute but also nostalgic. David Schwimmer was pretty emotional was he started feeling that that huddles were going to end after they finished shooting.

Jennifer Anniston

Google.

She didn't know wether to come or not for the last season. This would've cause the sitcom prematured ending. She didn't know what else she had of Rachel inside and in a way wanted to leave the audience with those high expectations when the show was in its best pick of popularity.

Hi Snoop dog! We all know he loves animals. However, what we didn't know was his similarity to some dogs. Just look at this one, their smile OMG really funny. It's not just it. Look at his eyes, half closed and their pumped cheeks. Simply beautiful.

Richard Branson vs dog

Google

OMG. This is just amazing. Richard Branson's clone in the shape of a dog. I simply don't believe it, I had to take a look at this two pictures more than once to get it. It's too weird for me. I mean look at it, their colors, wide face, hair. Perfect twins.

Anthony Kiedis vs hipster horse

Google

Is it Red Hot Chilli Peppers Anthony Kiedis or a hipster horse? I mean don't you think the weird one here is the horse? Not to judge him but, really? That haircut? It's a feeling between "it's cool" and "wtf". This horse only needs to start performing with Anthony and he's definitely becoming rich.

Taylor Lautner yes, one of the hottest guys on the big screen... or that's what tweens say. Abs, hot lips, cool face. But let's face it. Big time llama face! It's just the whole mix between his eyes, they way they are distributed in his face, maybe his hair helps too. What a pity. We all thought you were simply perfect. However, we still like you Tay!

Christopher Lloyd vs Aye-aye

Pinterest

Christopher Lloyd OMG that face is all the representation of him you need. However, let's be realistic who would feel flattered by this comparison? Of course "Nobody" is the right answer people. Poor Christopher we definitely do not have anything against him but yes, they look very much alike...

Cher vs Afghan Hound

Google

So 2000's! Cher's hair omg. Adorable. But then look at this dog's hair! Weird right? They are exactly the same at a point that I don't know if I prefer that dog or Cher's look. So classy, blonde, straight long hair. Simply beautiful.

Ron perlman vs curly hair dog.

Google

OMG this dog looks exactly like Ron Perlman. Even their hair! We definitely all have a narcissists way of choosing our pets. I mean, really? With all the dogs you could choose you go for the one with curly hair, long face, little nose. Too much, let's face it. Most people love themselves more than they say they actually do.

Samuel L. Jackson vs Boxer old dog.

Google

Samuel L. Jackson's angry look with this boxer dog. It's definitely my favorite above all. Not only because I love this kind of dog, just look at those grey hairs both have in their faces, really similar and beautiful at the same time. Not to talk about their mouth LOL, that's pretty awesome looking sad and angry.

John Travolta vs blue eye dog.

Google

Deep blue oceanic eyes. Hey Travolta! We found someone that's competing with that seduction weapon you have. The only thing is that now the competition has 4 legs and also barks! Be careful he is stilling all the girls from you. LOL, there eyes couldn't be this similar!

Dalai Lama vs llama.

Google

Sooo cute! Dalai Lama and this llama look so much alike. There beautiful smile as well as those oriental eyes, amazing. This picture made me love llamas even more. They usually look dam or dirty creatures but with this picture I can't say the same. We can't deny that cute smile of hers or those inviting eyes.

Gordon Ramsay

Google.

I really feel like Gordon is this dog’s reincarnation, I’ve always thought about this when I watched “Kitchen Nightmare”. One day, I thought “why not googling it”? and voilà someone did the comparison. Simply perfect.

Hitler

Google.

Be careful with this one people! Pretty challenging. Look at their moustache. Just the same look in their eyes too, their hair. Another reincarnation in a cat’s shape? What do you people think? Well, carefully seeing it, their ayes shape is quite different.

William H. Macy

Pinterest.

OMG THEIR EYES!!!! I’m terrified with this one. How could a human being be these similar to a dog? I know we love them and that they mostly represent another human being for us. But they are not, they are animals but sometimes I can’t believe these similarities!

Adrien Brody

Google.

Monkeys are sometimes too similar to us, but in this particular case, they look like brothers or something. Leaving the monkey’s furry face out, their shape is quiet the same as well as their nose.

Harrison Ford

Pinterest.

LOL their mouse expression! Same thing. I would never thought about a golden retriever being similar to someone’s face. I mean, they are one of the most common dog faces in all times around the world so this one’s quite impressive for me.

Payton Manning

Pinterest.

This one’s too funny to even describe. But look at this dog’s wrinkles. It looks like a really good joke but I promise it’s not. These two things are a dog and Payton just having the same exact face and expression than the other one.

Leo DiCaprio

Google.

I love how they both look so fancy just nailing it. Leo looks like as if he just won the Oscar’s and that cat looks like Leo’s cat after winning the Oscars LOL. Just amazing and funny.

Adam Driver

Google.

Adam Driver, “Girl’s” show star looks exactly the same as this cat. Their ears are big enough to notice them from long distances. I’ve always knew he looks like something else and now I realize what I was talking about!

Jamie Hyneman

Google.

This is the funniest coincidence in the whole world. LOL. Look at these two guys! I can’t believe their expressions and hats. Too funny for me and too similar! Their moustache and deep looking OMG.

Rhianna

Pinterest.

Hi Rhi Rhi what’s up? Oh, wait, is that Rhianna or an Alpaca posing? LOL. We can’t deny she is one of the most beautiful and talented singers from the last years. However, with this look, I can’t be that positive. Sorry for that :(

11 animal deaths in movies that made you cry

By: daniel - 20 May 2015, 10:26

*Spoiler alert*

Our childhood was marked by different movies, series and cartoons that we like to see. I remember that my favorite movies were always the ones with animals in them, but it really saddened me when some of them died.

I remember crying for days every time a pet animal or lead actor died. These films have marked me and to this day makes me remember the loss of these adorable pets. Do any of these movies made you cry?

Mufasa from 'The Lion King'

Photo: Twitter

Mufasa was the father of the little Simba, who would become the lion king but Mufasa fails to see his son become king. When Mufasa dies, it's really a sad scene that made a lot of kids cry in the 1990's when the movie was released.

Church from 'Pet Sematary'

Photo: Facebook

A neighbor is the one who takes Jud to the pet cemetery and after this, the beautiful cat named Church dies, so they decide to bury him. This really made me sad because I really like cats and he seemed to be a very cute kitten.

Big Jeans from 'Walking and Talking'

Photo: Twitter

This adorable cat from the film Walking and Talking dies. This event makes the owners of the cat, Amelia and Laura, very sad.

Charlie from 'All Dogs Go to Heaven'

Photo: Twitter

This film reminds me of my childhood, nostalgia made me suffer, but what really makes me want to cry is to remember the end. The saddest part of the movie is when the adorable dog Charlie died in one of the great adventures that he used to live with his mistress.

Headwig from 'Harry Potter'

Photo: Pinterest

Hedwig is the name of Harry Potter's owl. This owl was the one that took and brought all messages, but it is very sad when this messenger dies.

Bambi's mother from 'Bambi'

Photo: Google

There is nothing sadder than thinking about the time when our parents will be gone, that's what I felt when I saw the Bambi movie. I remember I cried a lot when this adorable deer mother died, thinking about my mom.

Artax from 'The Neverending Story'

Photo: Google

One of the most controversial, sad and surprising scenes in 'The Neverending Story' film, was the death of Artax, the horse from this movie. The scene shows how the horse drowned.

Hachiko from 'Hachi: A Dog's Tale'

Photo: Twitter

This story is very sad, because the puppy always waits for its owner to return to the train stop where they always met, even after his owner's death. Hachiko stays faithfull until the day he died.

Sam from 'I Am Legend'

Photo: Facebook

This is one of the movies that brought me into tears, because from the beginning of the film we all fall in love with Sam, but he dies at the middle of the film. He must be sacrificed so he doesn't suffer anymore.

Aslan from 'The Chronicles of Narnia'

Photo: Google

The death of Aslan, the lion from 'The Chronicles of Narnia', is one of the saddest moments of this movie saga. This is one of the movies that really made me cry.

Marley from 'Marley and Me'

Photo: Facebook

This film really made me cry for a few days. This movie is about the life of a man with his pet and how both come together and become friends, but as the dog grows older, he dies. The dog has a very dramatic death.

Dog Refuses To Lead Rescuers To Her Puppies. Look What They Did To Make Her!

By: carloscrc - 28 March 2016, 14:16

Hope for Paws is an NGO that helps stray dogs and homeless dogs all around the country, and this definitely has to be one of their most impressive operations. For this rescue mission, they had received tips of a homeless pitbull called Rosie, who gave them a fantastic surprise.

They sure got more than they bargained for! Thankfully, it all went well.

Vía Youtube.com

In the following heartwarming video, Hope for Paws carries out yet another incredible rescue, though this time, it is a lot more than they bargained for.

Vía Youtube.com

Hope for Paws was called in to rescue Rosie the pitbull, a sweet tempered and quiet dog, who had spent most of her life homeless.

Vía Youtube.com

The rescuer, Eldad Hagar, quickly realized upon a closer look that there could be more than just one dog to save. Rosie was lactating, indicating that she had given birth recently.

Vía Youtube.com

However, Hagar wasn’t sure if the puppies were alive or not. Rosie, still distrustful of humans, seemed unwilling to lead him to any litter she might have, preferring to loiter in the parking lot. When coaxed to lead the rescue to her puppies, Rosie instead found her way under a truck and laid down for an hour.

Vía Youtube.com

Hagar, who has remarkable experience with rescuing homeless animals, considered his options. Bad weather was looming, so time was of the essence.

Vía Youtube.com

Rosie had already spent time away from her puppies in the kennel in order to be captured, and walking around with Hagar. The puppies could be somewhere hiding somewhere, cold and hungry without her.

Vía Youtube.com

Hagar invented a brilliant new solution, which you can see in the video. Watch as he carries out an incredible rescue operation.

Vía Youtube.com

To determine if she even had puppies, he pulled up a video of puppies on his phone and turned the volume up, letting Rosie hear the whimpers.

Vía Youtube.com

Her eyes widened and her ears lifted, suddenly on high alert. The pitt definitely had puppies, and now she was on a mission to lead the rescuers to them.

Vía Youtube.com

Hagar states, “This video is so important because of the cool new trick I came up with while sitting with Rosie under a truck for more than an hour.

Vía Youtube.com

Always remember to be VERY CAREFUL when approaching puppies – especially when you don’t know how the mom would behave. It can be dangerous.”

Even so, this story has a happy ending.

The puppies have all found forever homes, and so has Rosie. Hope for Paws continues doing amazing work to help animals.

If you are always hungry, you’ll identify with every single thing in this post

It is amazing how food can mess with our consciousness; our five senses interact in many different ways when we eat and what we think is delicious depends on our brain and taste buds. These cells have chemical receptors with five basic tastes: bitter, sweet, sour, salt and umami. These five tastes help determine whether we like the food or not.

Some of us just love eating, we can eat six times a day and sometimes it won’t be enough. If you are a fan of food you’ll identify with every single thing in this post.

Are you for real?

Physical appearance has a lot to do with our self-esteem, a lot of people strive to maintain their outer beauty no matter what, and so they look for beauty treatments that will help them look younger or prettier. Nowadays, some people are determined and willing to undergo the most extravagant and painful treatments, regardless of the consequences.

Most of these beauty treatments are quite expensive because they are very exotic and we can assure you that you will not find them in any regular spa.

Pig placenta

A few people would be willing to drink something slimy that came right out of a pig, but in Japan, the desire to look younger is reason enough to do so. Scientifically speaking, placentas have lots of vitamins and nutrients, that’s why people drink pink placentas as a beauty treatment.

Bull Secretion Conditioner

A beauty salon in London offers the “Aberdeen Organic Bull Semen Treatment”; this is a hair mask that moisturizes and makes your hair shinier. We would love to have soft hair that looks amazing, but we’re not sure if we would pay for this treatment!

Bird dropping mask

In Japan, there is a powder called “Uguisu” made out of bird feces and it was used by geishas in the eighteenth century as their white base for makeup. The bird droppings are rich in amino acids, and can make your skin look like porcelain.

Ant body wash

Bee venom can help with cell regeneration, collagen production and reducing fine lines and skin aging. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that are good for our skin; people who are highly allergic to bee venom should never try this treatment.
